God and The Twelve Problems of Evil: Into Great Mystery

This book of essays asks the enduring age-old question If God is loving and good why is there so much evil? It answers boldly Because God creates sustains and allows evil in the world. This fact is the greatest and most impenetrable mystery of the Christian faith. Twelve categories of evil are thereafter described and analyzed. The case is made that God is actively involved in the manifestations of evil mysteriously and paradoxically suffers with her beloved children but is in control of it all. Whatever harms causes suffering or destroys persons animals or the precious earth will be eliminated forever but only in Gods good time. Until then believers must overcome evil with good maintaining faith in the God whose thoughts and ways are not ours.
